Little-known quarterback from North Dakota showed in one throw why the NFL world is gushing over him

Carson Wentz has seemingly come out of nowhere to have a good
shot at being one of the top two picks in the upcoming
draft. While many have heard the name, little is still known
about the quarterback, and now that people are paying
attention, it is starting to become clear exactly why the NFL
world is so in love with him.

On Thursday, North Dakota State, a school in college football's
second division (FCS), held their Pro Day, where all of their
draft-eligible players are showcased for NFL scouts. Of course,
the star of the show was Wentz, and he did not disappoint.

In fact, there was one throw in particular that has people
gushing.

After going through a series of short and mid-range throws, Wentz
started to show off his strong arm and accuracy. After moving to
his right and rolling back to his left, he stopped and unleashed
an absolute rocket, hitting the bull's-eye on a moving target
from about 60 yards away (via ESPN).

It is just one throw and it is in shorts and a T-shirt. But it
can't be emphasized enough how strong this throw is and how he
put it in a spot where only the receiver would be able to catch
it without breaking stride.

The NFL thinks they can teach anybody to play football. However,
many believe two of the things that can't be taught are arm
strength and accuracy. Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN
analyst Ron Jaworski called Wentz' performance
"outstanding," and repeatedly pointed out the incredible accuracy
and strength.

It is throws like this that have NFL insiders comparing Wentz to
previous top prospects like Andrew Luck and Cam Newton, two
quarterbacks who were considered can't-miss prospects from
big-time college-football programs.
